Yes, I can see what you mean. Should a float prefer a string or an int? I
don't know.
That would be a issue unless an additional method of prioritising were
involved. Perhaps if attributes get in there will be a solution:
<>
function foo(int $a) {}
<>
function foo(string $a) {}
Yet as complic

OK, so take away the dynamic case, and assume the caller is in weak
mode. Now you have a second case where you need priorities between
In your example, the output may be:

With regards to union types, it could work exactly like the latest
Multi-Catch feature.

This is probably the biggest hurdle, IMO - regardless of the internal
implementation, you've got to define exactly how the feature would work

Well I had given some thought to that :)
Instead of using mangled names and calculating the canonical name at
runtime, keep the name, but convert the function hashtable from a table of
op arrays into a table linked lists, of op arrays.
A non-overloaded function would be the only element in its li

Besides it impacting, readability, it will also create a large impact on
performance.
Right now, functions (and methods) are looked up
Hi,
As I understand it, using Java-like function overloading in PHP is
undesirable due to hindrance in readability.
However I'd like to get an opinion on whether it would be received more
favourably if it could provide an actual performance enhancement over hand
managed implementation's of detect
